UniversalPegasus International Participates in East Africa Oil and Gas Trade Mission
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., March 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UniversalPegasus
International (UPI), a subsidiary of Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII),
is participating in the 2015 East Africa Trade Mission to Mozambique and
Tanzania from March 18-26. Attending the mission on behalf of UPI is Tony Stead,
UPI's business development manager for the U.K.
The mission, headed by 13 Scottish organizations from industry and academia, was
formed to develop new international partnerships in the East African oil and gas
market by bolstering the industry's global development, supply chain management,
health and safety, and training. It is organized by Scottish Development
International (SDI), the international arm of Scottish Enterprise, and is
supported by the U.K. Trade and Investment (UKTI) and Aberdeen City Council.
"East Africa is a pioneering market, and with 150 trillion cubic feet of gas
discovered off the East Africa coast in deep water, Scotland's unrivaled deep
water subsea delivery and offshore experience makes us the perfect partner to
help bring it into production," said Gary Soper, SDI's regional manager in
Africa.
UPI has performed work in more than 20 countries and has offices in Aberdeen and
London. The company is currently supporting a multinational oil and gas company
with a project in Mozambique.
"Working with SDI, we aim to increase our activity in East Africa since it's a
key market," Stead said. "Attending missions such as this is a crucial part of
helping us strengthen our global presence, particularly in a region with such
potential. In order to augment the East African oil and gas industry, the region
will need expanded education, training and capacity building. UPI hopes to work
with other Scottish leaders in business and academia to help with this
expansion."
Representing UPI, Stead is one of 24 representatives from Scottish oil and gas
companies, educational groups and government organizations to meet with East
African representatives at the mission.
As UPI's business manager located in London, Stead focuses on international
business and looks to bolster the company's access to the global market. Since
2001, he has done business in many African countries through UPI and his
previous employers. Stead works alongside Gavin Stevenson, the company's U.K.
managing director, who has been with the U.K. operation since its inception more
than 20 years ago. Africa has been a key market since this beginning.
